How? Are We

As a country, we came into being with the arrival of the Pilgrims at Plymouth Rock. When they put their feet on the soil of this new land, I imagine them breathing a large sigh of relief. To put one's feet back on dry land after being at sea for what seemed an eternity is a major feat with an inordinate amount of satisfaction, being cramped up on a ship for 30-60 days with no showers nor bathroom facilities, no recreational diversions, and very little privacy, one can become some kind of a grump.Now setting foot on dry land, enjoying the scenery (you know, trees, grass, rocks, birds and other various denzines of a new country..). Then giving thanks for their safe arrival, oh, did I mention that these were religious folks. You see, one of the reasons they left everything they could not carry behind was because of religious persecution. Yep, even then. You see, if you belonged to one of the religions that was declared intolerant by the intolerant mob of self-righteous elitists of that time, the likelihood of you remaining healthy decreased significantly (in other words imprisonment, the torture blocks, sold into slavery, or just outright killed as the accusers were prone to do to satisfy a whim-----Gee that sounds kind of familiar). Of course there was another reason that being taxation, the taxes were adjustable to suite the needs of the governing class, (you know, the ones who thought they were the only ones fit to govern because that had money and status---Gee, that sounds familiar too!) Please forgive the sarcasm but you see, the ones who think they are so smart and skillful at prevarication back then are the same ones who are doing it today, and would you like to hear something so very stupid on their part? Everything they are doing today is exactly the same that was done before, except the window dressing is different. These people are so very predictable that you can if you set down and think about it know without any reservation what they are going to do, when they are going to do it and predict the outcome. So you see those smarter than thou people are really not smarter than anyone else, just more devious and greedy, here's a suggestion for them, remember the French Revolution and think about your future if you persist. Enough of them, this blog is about us, our heritage, and, our legacy. In order for the latter to be something we can be proud of, we must first understand the former, therein are the clue to insure that the legacy we leave our Progeniture that they too might aspire to lofty goals and improve what they have been left. You see, right now, (thanks to our current herd of elitists) we are currently going to drop some baggage on these people that outweighs the current budget of the three largest countries on the face of this earth, accordingly billions of dollars will seem like pocket change. Now I am not a mathematician, nor a financier, but nether am I stupid, as some would like to believe. Here's a postulation for you, You and your spouse working together bring let's say $155,000.00 into the house, that's good money, you'll have to agree. but, let's say your chosen lifestyle after the bills are paid requires let's say $7200 that you don't have, your savings, ZILCH, your retirement, .ZERO, emergency funds, -crap so what do you do, you both work 8 hour days, you have two kids that need stuff (please mommy, please, please, please; Oh come on daddy you know I can't do without, my friends will laugh at me.)Now where does that leave you, in debt, over you head, eating up your paycheck, decreasing the amount of value given while increasing the amount of value taken? Ready for a wake up, that is exactly what Washington is doing to us, and we let them, just like our ancestors did, but for us, there is no new land to go to and start over to build a dream, so what do we do now. (That's the question we have to answer now, tomorrow is too late. It's time for resurrection; Can we resurrect the American Dream, Can we resurrect the American Ideal, Can we resurrect the American reputation, Can we resurrect America-----Aw Heck Yes The first step is going to take some heavy duty repositioning, and must start at the ground level. It starts with you (the one reading this) and me (the one writing this), the change starts here. This is our country and it is up to us to take it back, and if those who have it now don't want to let go SLAP THEM until they do. This is our country, we built it with our sweat, with our blood, and with our effort. It's time to take it back!
